Springtime Farming: A Happy Wife At Home

But inwardly, she did have a small hope for that to happen, so she just told Qiao Xuan not to joke rather than confirm the point.

Qiao Kou was not as smart as her mother. Hearing what her sister and mother said, she remained unconvinced. “Why can’t I marry into some noble family? What if someone from the noble family falls for me?”

Even a narrow-minded person like Qiao Xuan knew that she was a beautiful girl.

Qiao Xuan smiled and said nothing more.

She was just trying to make a small fuss so they could all shut up. If she went over the top, the results would not be as good.

She was still a weak person at the moment, and making Madame Qiao irritated wasn’t an ideal choice for her in this situation now.

Madame Qiao wasn’t very happy as she said calmly, “Alright, you sisters can have chit chat somewhere else. Yuzan, lead the son-in-law of the Shao Family to have a seat in the hall!”

Qiao Xuan smiled. “Mother, I need to speak with you alone, please. Is that okay with you?”

Madame Qiao looked at Qiao Xuan transfixed, and smiled suddenly. “Sure. Leave us.”

Shao Yunduan, who was about to ask Qiao Xuan to leave, had to drop his intention. He exchanged a look with Qiao Xuan and left with the maids.

When everyone else retired, only Auntie Ling and Qiao Wei next to Madame Qiao did not move.

Madame Qiao had always spoiled Qiao Wei, so she said nothing about her being present.

Qiao Wei raised her eyebrows and sneered. “You are bolder than before. Since when did you develop the ability of being so good at talking? Just spill it, if you want to have a word with my mother.”

Qiao Xuan inhaled and said self-mockingly, “I have nothing to fear when I end up being in this situation. You don’t have to dwell too many thoughts on me, because it is how I should be. From this moment on, we will go our separate ways. I don’t think that I am going to become someone outstanding in the future any more, so I will just admit that I am nobody!”

Madame Qiao sneered. “You are smart enough to understand where you stand!”

She felt both proud and happy, and she suddenly did not seem to feel that Qiao Xuan was so annoying any more.

Qiao Xuan, in her eyes, was just like an ant who was no threat to her. She had many other important things to worry about, so from this day on, she did not have to care about this woman any more.

She was not going to become anyone outstanding in her life.

She felt very assured when she realized that this girl was going to be deeply trapped in a poor, farmer’s family and never get out of it.

“However…” Qiao Xuan smiled and confessed. “I am a worldly person, so I am acting like a worldly girl. Madame Qiao, you know pretty well what you have offered as dowry for me, so I am here, asking for the dowry that I deserved to get.”

“What are you talking about?” Madame Qiao was shocked.

Qiao Wei was startled as well.

Qiao Xuan said, “I want the dowry I deserve. Otherwise, you won’t have a peaceful day in my life.”

Qiao Wei sneered. “What can you do?!”

Damn, this bitch dared to threaten her mother. How bold she had become!

She had turned so brave after she got married.

Qiao Xuan took out the pamphlet from her arms and chuckled. “Should I read out what is written in the book? I have nothing to fear when I am just a nobody. Do you believe that I am going to bring the real dowry and what is written in the book to the governmental office for my father to see?”

“How dare you!” Madame Qiao became really furious.
